Philosophy:
My goal is to provide patients with innovative, effective, and safe interventions for cerebrovascular diseases and stroke. I underwent a demanding and unique training in radiology and neurosurgery to acquire the skills necessary for their treatment. This makes me one of the few specialists in the country with the abilities to treat these disorders with surgical and endovascular techniques and the only one with the complete background in Neurosurgery and Radiology. I have performed more than a thousand interventions with these techniques, and thanks to my rigorous training and profound respect for every patient I have been successful providing high quality care for these individuals. Every interaction with a patient represents to me a delicate and important occasion in which I have the opportunity to exalt the medical profession by acting with supreme deference to the ultimate motivation of my job, the patient, that individual in pain or distress that I am here to help.
